Visitors at the Aquarium never tire of watching the harbor seals, and one thing that pleases them particularly is to see the seals fall off their table when they go to sleep. In the middle of the pool for the seals there are two low tables, their tops are Just above the water, on which the seals climb out to sleep or to rest. And some times one or another of the seals will climb out of the water to one of those tables and lie there on it, maybe close along the edge of one side and per haps with itd head and forward part of its body hanging over the edge of the table in front, apparently all the time in imminent danger of rolling off the table at the side or of pitching of head first into the water in front. And when a seal lies on a table like that, sleeping or dosing, people stand around the pool watching and waiting for the seal to fall of. He won't hurt himself whe he does fall, he will sim ply fail of tnto the water; but old and younr men, women and children, will stead there with keen Interest sllent ly watching and waitiln for that meal to fall. And if they stay long enough, as they are pretty sure to do, they are rweded.-New York Times. A eer Doen at Cambridge.

You boys can easily communicate with one another after dark by means of homemade signal lanterns similar to that shown it Fig. 1. You will need a small box for the lantern. The dimensions are not im t portant, but ten or twelve inches is I about right for the depth, width and length. Fig. 2 shows the completed e I. . lantern, and Fig. 3 shows the box be fore the door has been put on. One side of the box becomes the front of the lantern. In the center of the width of the front, a little above the center of the height, cut a slot one inch wide and three inches long. through which to flash the lantern I light (A, Figs. 2 and 3); and make a shutter block (B. Figs. 3 and 5) by which to regulate the lengths of the flashes. Screw a couple of screw-eyes into the top edge of the shutter, and a third screw-eye into the center of the bottom edge; and loop a heavy rubber band through the upper pair of eyes, and tie a strong cord to the lower eye (Fig. 5). Then tie the free ends of the rubber-bands to a pair of screw eyes screwed into the under side of the lantern top, in the right positions C D 1 to come directly over the pair in the shutter when it is placed over slot A; and bore a hole through the bottom of the box for the cord attached to the shutter to pass through (Pig. 3). Then. by pulling the cord, the shutter can be opened so light will pass out of a small portion of the slot, for a "dot" of the code, or all the way open, for a "dash" of the code. The lantern may be lighted either by a candle or a bicycle lamp. If you use a candle, tack a can cover to the lantern bottom for a holder, and tack MOPSE CODE .... Q .... 2 .....

Make the rockers two inches longer than the width of the 1" cradle, and cuat a slot in the lower end of uprights B just wide enough to receive their ends.

Remove one side of a box, and about one-third of each of the adjoining sides and the bottom, and use the remainder for the seat, back and arms of the chair. By selecting the doubled sides of the box for cutting, the upper parts of the rockers can be slipped up and fastenea between the doubled pieces (l2g. 4). Cut the rockers by the pattern of Str 6. making them long enough to O project about an inch in front and back of the seat.

MacDONALD. (6eologsat of the Isthmian Canal Com mission.) New York.-The slides of Culebra cut are again active in a spectacular way. They have blocked the canal and are therefore maklingdemands on the interet of all nations that have a maritime trade. Hundreds of ships from all parts of the world, seeking the isthmus, have been held up. Many oz them have put to sea again for the long and costly voyage around the southern continent 8hipping men have become pessimis tic over the canal blockade. The general public wonders how It will all end. Engineers, even those some what familiar with the conditiops, have been more or less silenced by the unfamiliar vastness and the deep seated character of the sliding move. ments Now what are the facts? Of all the slides that were once ac tive in Culebra Cut only two remain so. These two, being opposite each other, and very large, temporarily got the better of the dredges and closed' up the channel for a distance of a ftw hundred feet. Neither of these s was unex pected. Ad early as 111 and 1912 the writer, they geologist to the iathmian canal commission, reported that the storm center of slidlng would be in the vicinity of Zion hill and Culebra on the west side of the canal. and just north of Gold hill oa the east side of It. The present slides are the last of the big sliding mqrement, predicted at that time, which will cccur. Again, in 1913., the writer prepared a special report calling attention to a deforma tive movement which was then slow ly beginning to develop Just north of (bold hill, an which would end Ln an enormous slide. That movement developed into the largest of the two slides that are now blocking .the canal-probably the largest of all the Culebre cut slides. Its acoaing was definitely known for at least two years before t finally flled *e channel. At no time since the digging was begun did the chiet engineer and lMs stat doubt the ultimate completion of the canal and the final care of the slides.
